Pixma Pro 200 C000 Error

[filomeno]

Hello!

I'm new to the community so bare with me. I have a brand new Pixma Pro 200. I have thoroughly removed any packing materials and orange tape, and after I was confident, I turned the printer on for the first time. When I turn it on, it makes a disconcerting clacking sound as the print head holder drags against the bottom of the track (I haven't even installed the print head itself). The C000 error pops on the screen, proposing I remove all packing materials, clear any paper jams, and finally restart the printer. I am certain there's no packing material, but I turn it off and on and the error pops up again and I'm stuck in a never ending loop 

I'm disappointed already and it doesn't seem like this printer has much of a following quite yet. Any one else have issues and solutions? I want to avoid sending it anywhere as I don't have a car. 

Thank you fellow Canoners!

For anyone experiencing the same problem, I reached out to Canon support and it turns out the printer had a manufacturer's defect and was exchanged easily for a new one.
